Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* Another cold morning out there across the Big Country, the Northern Heartland and the Northern Concho Valley on this first day of December. Temperatures at the time of this blog update are in the 20s and 30s. I note the Brownwood Airport is currently reporting 21° at this hour. After our cold start expect plenty of sunshine today and warming up! Highs today will climb into the lower and middle 60s with a south breeze across the area. Another cool night with lows in the mid 30s under a clear sky.
* Late Week: Sunny to mostly sunny conditions will continue into the later half of the week across the Big Country, the Northern Heartland and the Northern Concho Valley. Temperatures will continue to warm up placing highs in the above average range for early December. Highs will range from the middle to upper 60s but still cold at night with lows in the lower 30s.
* The Weekend: Clouds will return over the weekend across West Central Texas. Still warm on Saturday with highs in the lower 70s with lows saturday morning in the middle 40s. Another front works into the area for the late weekend with highs dropping back into the middle and upper 50s for Sunday with lows back in the middle 30s by Sunday night.
* Next Week: The model runs for early next week continue to bring a cooler air mass into West Central Texas with highs on Monday and Tuesday into the middle and upper 40s with lows the lower 30s each morning. The models also bring moisture into the region about the time the cooler air works into the area. It's still too far out to say something wintry could happen but I just wanted to give you all heads up that the forecast models are flirting with the possibility around Monday night and Tuesday morning. I wouldn't bet the farm on it and I am sure future model runs may take the chance away or possibly continue the expected weather trend. Stay tuned for updates. Weather looks quiet and nice for the 25th Annual KRBC Share Your Christmas event next Wednesday. Lows that morning in the upper 20s and highs that afternoon in the lower to middle 50s.
